A MYSTERY OF THE FRONTIER. - Who WHS Sir Geoffrey Cntlicnrt nnd > Yhero Are ills Phllndclphln. Times. Southward through ( ho valley run : the old Santa Fo trail. To the welt rlso the foothills , and back ot thvm the mountains , snow-capped still In Juno , ami to the on at BtrotctiM the parched plain. Tha bed ot the Btrraui , many nlzea too largo for the thrr.nl of water Hint finds Its way past tha thirsty mouths of the Irrigating ditches. Is Kinged on ono side by low \vlllo\va and shut In on thu other by n steep bank ot red gravel , amid which nro numerous bowl ders ot mountain granlto. The old trail Itself Is broad and plainly marked through most of Us course. For a short dlat.inra a part of It , shut oft by a barbwlrc tonce , has been cut out of oxlatcnco by the Mr- rows of en alfalfa field , and then a railroad grade leaves no ilgn of Us cross-tug , but beyond It rises clear to the summit ot the hill , where the wind storms ot half a ronttiry hive blown a gorge twenty feel j deep through the creel of the ridge. On this side of the barb \vlru fence the old Sant.i Fo trail Is a pirt ot the mnilern uounty road , and , except for a lengthened gully , which mu ! < tfl A detour neco. sary , or tor a bridge over ono end of the buffalo wal low , the olJ trail Is very much the unino ttxliy as when Kit Carson rode ilor.g It or the first f ttlcn wHth their canvas.covercil wagons widened the Indian trail to a high way. way.At Intervals of halt a ilozon miles along the old trnll are the road houses , where the travelers ured to sUp for mcala or for a nlght'a shelter. Square , box-IIUo housea they ire , with four-cornered roofs and sldca of unpatnted boards , browned by thn Derce nun and the knots emphasized by the EAIHI blasts that sweep around them. Itwltlo they are much allko , kltchun and ( llnlnR room and big s'ltllng room , where travelers by stage or saddle used to gather befcro the big open fireplace nnd In long avcnlngii tell their ftorlcs of strange adventure In iho western wilds , of narrow escapes from wild beasts and the wilder Indiana , or ot dan gers from lire and flood , ot golden treasures found and lost again , weird traditions re peated at first hand from an older au.l fsst dlsippearlng race , nnd the fantasies which eomu 'Into the heaJs ot men who arc much alone , who think much and arc not much given to talking. 1 htul alway.i suppossd that It was orn of th se old houses which stands quite cloec to the creek , about half a mlle from the place where the old trail IB eut across by the barb-wire fence. True , the house In question wca set back from the road tome little distance , which was unusual , and n close In-pcctlon mlg'it have dlscowicd some thing pretentious and uncommon about It , but It had the same air of desolation as the others the same square roof end unpalnted sides , 'the same empty window frames and broken Joors. Jt was n rainy afternoon In Miy that I had first a nearer vle\v of the old house. I was haullm ; a load of flour to a Inreo ranch out about sixteen miles from the railroad , and the big cottonwood trees that lined the sldr > Inne to tlio old house , though broken and Blntt-rcd , still Heemod to offer a partial shelter from the heavy shower that swept suddenly down , out of the mountains. As I turned the horses Into the lane , my thoughts went back toward the old times , nnd I fan cied how the house must have looked when It was something more than the empty shell of a llfo that had passed away. The upper window , I Imagined , must have been in iho room of the mistress of the Inn , or porharn of the eldest daughter , nnd BO ivlvld was my fancy thit I almost saw a dainty lace cur tain fluttering behind the paueless window frame. Having found a sheltered place for horses and wagon , I entered the old house. The room to the left of the main entrance am Immediately below the window I had ob served from the lane had evidently boon the sitting room. I saw nt ouco that this had been no inn , nnd I was attracted by a carved mantelpiece of oak or some other hard wood a rare thing , Indeed , In early days in Colorado. It was surmounted with a shield of wood carved with a coat of arms , a running stream represented by several wavy cross lines , a tree which might have been an old-world linden or a now-world cot tonwood and the motto , cut In wull-fash- lonea letters , "We meet beyond. " Such a mantelpleco In a house In Colorado , which must have been built at least thirty years ago , Is nothing less than marvelous. The wood must have been brought as far as from the other cildo of the Missouri , and the builder who made ot It a part of his frontier dwelling must have been a man of more than usual means and of uncom mon descent. What strange freak ot for tune could have brought to Colorado In the 60's a man entitled to a coat of arms and wishing enough to display it to bring oak from the east for that purpose ? It was with a curiosity very much aroused that I started to explore the upper part of the old bouse. The stairs were still firm , but covered with duat. Aa I started to ascend thorn a chipmunk chattered at mo from the upper landing , and that might have accounted for the fact that the dust along the center of the steps had been dis turbed an though by passing feet , or It may have been that a wayfarer Itko myself had been attracted to explore the deserted house. The upstairs rooms contained nothing wor thy of remark , with the exception of tlio room the window of which overlooked the lane , and which was directly above the room containing the mantelpiece. Here I found a panel of smooth wood , upon which had been painted a coat of arms dlmllar to that which had attracted my attention down stairs. The window sill on the south bldo ot tlio room formed a broad Beat , and as It was sheltered from the rain that was still drifting In sheds outuldo , I seated myJelf there and puzzled a little over the mystery I lud found. And then a queer thing happened , Maybe I fell tfilccp and maybe I did not. but t saw plainly In the vacant room a table and a chair nearby , a chair of quaint , old-fJsh- loned pattern , and on the table was a news paper yellowed with ago , a Philadelphia paper , bearing date of May 12 , 1857 , and In the column which was nearest to my eye was a paragraph to the effect that agents of the Ilrltlsh government were In the city In pearch of ono Qeoffry Cathcart , who had left his home In Kngland under a mistaken connection of his name with some grave political offense. The paper added that the mnn eiippcred to bo the one sought had recently loft the city with hlfl two chlldron , and had gone to aome unknown place In Iho west. Near the nownpaper I aw a lady's work basket ; there wore curtains at tlio windows and ruga on the floor ; the grizzly skin ot a hair and a costly fabric ot tha east , and then I surely hoard the rtutle ot a skirt and a girl came Into the room anJ sat down In the Jew rocking chair. Face , features and hands of an aristocrat , the clear brown of a ronploxlon ; that neither burns nor frocklen In nun and wind , airs of a princess born to rule In any world she finds herself and the frank glance of the wild creature that knows no evil and fears none. She neemcd Intent on some work ihn held In her hands , and then raised her head , listened , rose , mw me , omlled and was gone , leaving behind a faint odor of the ronea she wore In her hair. I turned my gaze again to the room. It was bun. as when 4 first entered , but a ctinlieam lingered on the coat of arms on the panel and brought out In almtat Htart- ling vlvldiitss the words of the motto : "The Htorm has pasto'l. " On the stairway as I descended I found i withered rose. About a half mile from the old homo down near the barb wire fence Across the old trail I met Jim Ned , riding that mean buckskin broncho that no ono else could rldr. and that no one that I ever knew over wanted to. Pioneer , trapper , scout , guide , stage driver , jack of all trades In his honest days and knave ot all In his dishonest ones , Jim his lived nlnng the old trail "since I wan old enough to chew tobacco , " and that WAJ quite early. If anyone knew about the old notice It would bo Jim. Ho after a few preliminaries to conversation I "wore him to honesty by the oath of ihe plains , "Now straight Jim , what do you know about the old houno bar-Is there * " "Well , " he ald. "seems to roe It wouldu' bo mtiro'n about three-quarters unfair If I asked you what you knew about U , feeing as you take such a moro'n usual Interest In It Hut n decent question's worth a tie- cent answer , as the teller says , so hero goes : "Back pretty near as far as I can remember - member there came a man to that house , or , rather , to the place whcru that house Is now , for , naturally , there wasn't any house there then , not having been built. He was a , tolerable oldish man , rather tall , with grayish whiskers and kinder stoop-shoul- di-rod. Ho came In a wagon , nnd ho hail two klda with hint , a boy about 18 I should say , and a girl maybn a couple of years younger. They camped down there near tha creek , and 1 suppose ho liked the country , or something ; but anyway , ho settled right there and built that houno. All the bricks had to bo hauled from Pueblo San Carlos \va called It them days snd they said some o the lumber came clear from Denver. The old man'a name was Cathcart or nomethlitff Ilko that , but most everybody round bora called him Jeff , though the old man didn't seem to Ilko that very well. Jeff wont Into the cattle buslncso , though I don't guess ho over made vury much at It , but then , ho didn't have to , for nvcrybo.ly know ho used to get money from somebody somewhere ; and four times a year ho used to K > to Den ver , and Dutch Jo says ho seen htm there once blllng drunk , but I don't bnllcvo that. Hu wan always kinder queer and suspicious of strangers , and novcr talked much about himself , and didn't taku much Interest In politics nnd onto when the boys offered to make htm jiutlcu ; nt thu peace ho retuaed In a wjy that made some of thorn kinder sus picion that hq wasn't naturalized , "Jeff's cattle used to rangn mostly over on the west side ot tlio Fountain , and ho had a bunch of little yallcr milk cows that ho thought a heap of , and that gave inoro milk for their slr.o than any critter 1 over saw , except a bluu cat , and ho used to bring thorn over the creuk to the house every night and shut them up In the corral just as though they didn't have m-iimi enough to stay out over night and maybe they hadn't. And one evening along the latter part of May there was a big thunder storm coming up over the mountain , and Cecil , that'o wh.tt ho called the boy 1 don't know what kind of a language tlmt Is , and I novcr hoard of anybody else with that name- but , anyway , the boy went over across the creek after thu cows , and pretty soon there came one of thu regular kind of cloudbursts , and befort ; long that llttlu creek was boom ing so that no kind of a circus animal couldn't have crossc-d It , let aluno one of thorn uawcd-off yaller cows. " 1'retty < ioon It got dark , and still the boy didn't come back , nnd after n whllo .Miss Pretty , that's what wo used to call thu girl , though Bho hud another kinder outlandish name , thought she heard somebody or some thing hollering over across the crock , and nothing to do but she must go out and BCO' what it was. "And neither ono of them Iclds evur came back. "In the morning some of the neighbors found thu old man lying on thu lloor of the sitting room , and everybody reckoned ho d had Bomo kind of a nt In thu night time. Ho * only got well enough to tell about the two kids going out In the storm , nnd along 111 the afternoon he went over thu rangu. AnJ nobody over found any feign of thu kids , though they did find a carcass of ono c the llttlo yaller cows about live mllen ilottii the gulch , so I guess they both full In o the crock , unless thu mountain lions got the hey , for they wns mighty plenty that year , and Dutch Jo said ho seen a whaling big track coming down oft Iho hill iio.-.t morning. " Just then the road branched. With a "Hoo.l-bye , partner , " Jim turned oft on the sldo road that leads to the little log cublti where ho Is endeavoring to pass his latter days In monotonous if pectablllty , and I' continued on down the valley over the old Santa ls trail , along which Oeoffry Ctith- cart and Cecil and "Miss I'relty" rode to * their frontier homo so many years ago.

Whan ho made his first appearance In that city he enriched his programs with a note explaining that ho would call on citizens at their residences and explain any Jokes that they did not understand , and It Is said thatf there was reason enough In such an offer , In vlow of the fact that John Bright , the eminent statesman , was reported to have remarked , after attending one of the hu morist's performances : "I must say I can't see -what people find to enjoy In this lecture. The Information In meager , and Is presenited In a desultory , dla- connected manner. In fact , I can't help uurlotisly questioning some of the state ments , " Artemus Ward was fond of tolling stories and' Jokes at his own expense , and he had a habit when upon the lecture platform o purposely making people laugh at his own awkwardness , but ho had ono experience that he never referred to. During a part of the time that ho lived In Cleveland ho lived at a fashionable boar. ' ng house on Soscca street , and was In the habit of cutting up all sorts of capers there , to the amiuomont , Bometlini'S , but as often to the conuteniaUcci of the other boarders , most of whom looked upon him as a "half-baked fool , " Ono of his favorite Jokes was to ncuro women lies'ly to death by pretending to fall downstairs. The parlor where the iboardern congregated was connected by a largo arch with the hall , whore the stairway was , prac tically making ono big room of both. Kvery tlmo a new boarder or a stranger happened to bo prcYf lJ , Mr , Urowno , as he was known around the house , would cough , at the top of the stairway , to attract attention , then pretend to trip on something , and go tum bling headlong downward , always managing to catch the ratling and thus escape In- Jury. The women would , of course , yell and makii a gicat fuss over him when lie picked hlniHi'lf up. nnd hn would generally mauigo to get off some droll remark that would sob everybody laughing. Hut this wort uf thing got tlrrsomo after awhile , and one day some ot the men board ers decided to stop It , A young woman had Just arrived at thn house , and It was a fore gone conclusion that Brow no would take his customary tumble at the lint oppor tunity , So , promising the landlady that they would have th'ngs properly repaired , after , the trouble was over , thu Joker's cnemlcH Hawed the spindles In the balustrade almost In two , leaving the rail so that a nllght wrench would break It loone. That evening all the bbitdorx r.ongrn- gated In the parlor , the newly arrived young woman , who had been lot Into the secret , among thorn. They didn't liavo long to watt for their victim. In panting up to his room , lirowne saw that a stranger was presHit , and , alter making h.s toilet , h started to go down stairs. Ho coughed loudly several times while patslng through the upper ball , and then , when he saw that everybody was looking at him , stumbled and shot out Into thu air. Hut when he grasped the rail ot the bat-i ustrade there was a sharp crack , followed by a crash , and the man who afterward became famous as A. Ward lay stunned at the bottom of the Malrs , with a skinned oftow and bleeding nose. That ended the stairway Joke , and Browne soon moved to another boarding house , THY GHAEN-0 !
